Odd error (?) for the text for the LMCS Chickadee...as far as I can tell, it is NOT the Moroccan version of the Sigma-class corvette (which does have its own listing elsewhere in the HUD-4).

 

As near as I can tell, the Chickadee simply a copy of the LCS 2 Independence. (There is also an LCMS 1 Oriole, which appears to be a copy of the LCS 1 Freedom). Was there a reason for adding these quasi-duplicates? Assumed export versions of the LCS?

 

(By the way, the Chickadee is not a bad name for a small warship. These birds are 5" tall and only weigh about as much as a mouse, but put out the birdseed and you will see they are aggressive little guys!)

HUD-4 v1.11

These were added by request from Harold Hutchinson, who's working on a novel called "Strike Group Reagan". Harold sometimes sends me hcf files which I just need to import into HUD4 main file to generate platforms. Strike Group Reagan, apart from being a novel written with the support of Harpoon (in the vein of Red Storm rising or Hunt for Red October) was also planned to be a battleset integrated to 3.11. We only missed a few scen designers to help, and this contributed to the 3.11 delay.
